Exede’s plans compete closely with HughesNet with the exception of a few stark contrasts: all plans offer a standard 12 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload. Exede also employs a “soft” data cap. This means that once you hit your cap for the month, you won’t be cut off, but your bandwidth will be reduced to a range of 1–5 Mbps, which is about the range of most mobile devices on 3G data. Pricing ranges from $59.99 to $149.99 per month.
